Back to the center

Today I'm heading back to the center to visit the natural history museum, the Palace of culture, an organic market and a jazz show. I'll have pictures and descriptions of all when I get back.

I don't have too much to report right now since I've been hanging around the block planning the next leg of my journey. I believe it's going to be beginning in Ireland with a stop in Bath to see my new second cousin and London for a Fullham match (though at 30+ GBP, I may have to sell a Kidney).

Staying around the house can be a bit tiresome. Though it is comforting to know that I can always see the Mythbusters blowing things up, subtitles and all. What's strange about all the Discovery channel shows here is that they're re-voice-overed, by a guy with a Brittish accent.

Something else I saw on Bulgarian television, and a bit more strange, was one of my favorite movies: Hamlet 2000. Now, that it is being broadcast is not strange, it's a great movie. The irony comes in when you consider the fact that it is dubbed in Bulgarian. That's right, Shakespeare... dubbed.

On the subject of irony, I realized that payback can indeed be cruel. I've discovered that my punishment for actually thinking portions of the movie "Borat" were funny, is that I must now go around totally clueless and making a fool of myself, something like this clip:

Oh if you could only understand my jealousy! As you span the globe, I sit in the same chair in front of the same computer I occupied a week ago!

Travel on brother! Travel on!

Wait, I totally think I've done that before.
